Lost reverse?

I can drop the pan and have a look but if you don't know what you're looking for it's of limited help. I've had 2 back surgeries in the last 3 years so yanking out a trans and transfer case isn't appealing. The I'm srewed was referring to this not being a cheap fix, I was hoping that it could be fixed with trans in.

Didn't the video's show the servo and band and what to look for? I didn't watch them so I'm not positive but I thought they showed how to inspect them. I can post some pics if you like. I've had 2 back surgeries in the past 20 months so I can totally understand your apprehension to yanking a trans. but as we've said quite a few times in the thread a lot of the time it's the servo that breaks, in fact the vast majority of the time it's the servo that breaks and it is repairable with the trans in place. And it's a cheap fix.

The problem with just taking it to a shop is so many times we hear of how the customer got screwed. Lets face it, if you drop it off and they take it apart without you actually seeing it they could hand you a pile of parts from most any transmission that was trashed and say their from yours and you need to cough up $2000 for a complete rebuild when it might really only be a $75-100 repair. And after you give em $2k get it back something still doesn't work right (because they either didn't really rebuild it or did a shoddy job) and they give you the run around. Seen it happen numerous times. I swear I hear more horror stories about transmission shops then any other type of repair shop. That's why if you have any mechanical ability at all it's always best to at least drop the pan and have a look. Then if it looks trashed and your in a situation where you can't rebuild it take it to a shop. At least you'll know it really did need rebuilt. See what I'm saying? Just trying to help.
